Terrorism against PMOI and Iraqi's

On Friday 8 February 2008, the water supply pumping station which provided water to Ashraf City, home to members of the Iranian opposition movement, People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI) north-eastern Baghdad, was bombed. The pumping station also supplied water to many villages in the Diyala province.

The European Parliament has an official policy on PMOI members in Ashraf. Paragraph 7 of the European Parliament resolution of 12 July 2007 emphasised on '4,000 members of the Iranian opposition who have been political refugees in Iraq for the past 20 years and have the legal status of 'Protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention'.

Bombing water supply stations and pipelines are considered as war crimes against protected persons and local residents, according to the Geneva Convention.

haha, see this is your problem if you don't believe it. This report was made by iraqi, and later send to simaye azadi.

I know is difficult for people like you to see the reality, and to see that 5,2 million iraqi support the PMOI, that more than 2.000 MEP's of EU support the PMOI, that they have been removed from the list, and that they will bring an end of the mullahs regime, and bring freedom and democracy in Iran !

PMOI are enemies of not only Iran and its people but also the people of Iraq. They fought alongside Saddam against Iran in the war and followed it up by helping Saddam suppress the revolts in his country. They dont want democracy in Iran or Iraq. 5.2 million supporters in iraq? so you are saying a quarter of iraqis are supporters of the PMOI? are they the sunnis who oppose iran?

[iran]

no sir, last year, just 1 week before the mullahs of Iran started to pressure Iraq to expulse the PMOI, more than 3 million Iraqi Shiites signed a petition in support of the PMOI and against the meddling of the Mullahs regime in Iraq, an event that was covered by mostly every Iraqi and Arab media !!! Also Kurds have already showed many times their support for the PMOI!

[iran]

6 years are past since dictator Saddam is overtrow, where are the evidence of the meddling of the PMOI in Saddam's suppression against Kurds and Shiites in Iraq ???

Listen to Maryam Rajavi's speech on the anniversary of the revolution of 1979! She said that she is happy that Iraq is finally trying democracy, and expressed her hope that they will also follow all the democratic values and rights of the world, declared in the UN's resolutions !!!

[iran]

6 years after the war in Iraq, the Mojahedin are strunger than before, Ashraf is internationally recornized and supported by mostly every international human rights organisation, PMOI is off the EU black list, and in the near future also from the US-list.

They have the support of millions of Iraqi's, the support of 2000 MPs from EU Countries, and 10000 jurists of EU, ...

And They will bring democracy to Iran, where everyone is free to elect, eat, drink, wear, believe, ... what he/she want

[austinrobinson]

I really don't care for the conservative or liberal perspective. What I see here is a burgeoning and wholly beautiful resistance making its voice heard. I, and many others, hear you loud and clear-- Iranians for peace and democracy.
